Police followed the vehicle to a vacant lot where the suspended learner-driver was observed to be allegedly intoxicated; a subsequent search of the vehicle located cannabis.

The accused man had earlier been drinking at a nightclub in the Byron Bay CBD. He was charged with numerous driving offences and drug offences. He was bailed to appear at Byron Bay Local Court next month.

Finally, a 19-year-old Currumbin Waters man was detained as an intoxicated person on Saturday morning after being ejected from a Byron Bay night club.

He was also issued a number of infringement notices for failing to leave licensed premises.
